Sweet and Sour Pork Chops

A long time family-favorite pork chop recipe! This can also be made on top of the stove in a large skillet. If desired you can brown the chops before placing in the crockpot, I like to add in a couple tablespoons fresh minced garlic also. Serve with hot cooked rice if desired.
